For those concerned about how the novel coronavirus might be dispersed when you’re running on narrow trails with friends, what follows is a list of my favorite wide, less-traveled forest roads a short drive west on I-40 from Flagstaff. Make a left (west) at the truck stop and follow historic Route 66 0.8 miles to Forest Road 171. Park along the road’s edge near this junction and run north into the Coconino National Forest. Make a left at the off-ramp and head south on Forest Road 141, aka the Garland Prairie Road. Find the nearest pullout along the paved road and run south toward Garland Prairie and its breathtaking, sweeping vistas of the San Francisco Peaks.
